Properties
Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Information
The encapsulation is formed by an “oligomer complex”. Oligomer complex technology utilizes a highly hydrophilic polymer (dextrin) to encapsulate the active. Below is the schematic of the encapsulation:
- Compatibility/Stability
Stability Test: BioGenic Bergenin-200
- Water solutions with BioGenic Bergenin-200
- pH was adjusted to 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0
- Testing conducted at 4°C, 25°C, 45°C, and 50°C
- Color/pH was monitored monthly for 3 months
- Use levels tested: 1%, 5%, 10%
Below are the results after 3 months stability. The samples are ordered from left to right: 4°C, 25°C, 45°C, and 50°C
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
BioGenic Bergenin-200 can be stored at room temperature in an appropriate container (glass or polypropylene) tightly sealed.
